CLANG.
A different sound, louder and more definitive.
Metal hitting metal.
They stopped the carriage immediately.
Kira jumped before it even stopped completely, running back to the workshop door.
Gandloaf was standing.
Not steady. Trembling, his whole body swaying slightly as if he needed to remember how to stand upright.
Disoriented, his eyes blinking slowly trying to focus, his head turning to see the workshop as if for the first time.
He looked at the extinguished forge, then at the hammer in his right hand which he gripped with excessive force, his fingers white from so much pressure.
He didn't seem 'healed'. He looked like someone who had decided to suffer standing instead of sitting.
The group came right behind Kira, entering the workshop slowly.
Haru tried to take advantage of the moment. "Mr. Gandloaf..."
Gandloaf interrupted, his voice hoarse as if he hadn't spoken properly in days:
"Show us." "...What?"
